This is my desktop. And this is the image it's based on. Also, a question, Can anyone identify who the girl on my desktop is? I don't remember where I got that pic and I don't remember what her name was...
Edit: I do believe I've posted the first linux desktop of the thread. Do I get a cookie?

I was still playing DOD up until about six months ago. I just haven't gotten around to getting HL2 and switching icons.

Catherine Bell currently graces my desktop, and she's quite stunning. I used to have this as my desktop, but the tits ruled out the TIEs. It was also a little too small.

Some of my programs, including Trillian and Winamp. Yes, I like Metallica, and I don't give a fuck. I also like Dido, Tori Amos, Kylie Minogue, Billy Idol, INXS, Dire Straits, etc.

And I use Opera as my web browser. It's better than IE, that's for sure. And it looks swanky.

[EDIT] I am interested in how you get the thumbnail link to a bigger picture, while the thumbnail also tells you how big the file is. How do you do it?

Oh, and Badme will surely appreciate my StarCraft cursor. 8)

:lol: Thanks, The Halo 2 Is just a trailer though and it's my husband who put that on. Oh? I-Mesh is bad? I didn't know that. Thanks. I think our daughter rules as well :wink:

Edit: There are alot of icons on there that don't really need to be there now that I really look at it... There are a lot of icons that take us to games for the kids which we don't play as the kids don't really get too interested on the computer. I should really clean that up... someday :wink:

Geezus! Does everybody have those Age of Empire/Age of Mythology games ? Those games drive me nuts... Building... building... construction complete... constantly saying shit like that in that crazy annoying voice, it probably bugs me so much cause Cpl Kendall played it for such a long time a while back. :lol:

yeah, well, I kind of like it that way ;)

It's XFce4 on Linux in case you're wondering. The lack of desktop icons, I find, isn't that big of a deal.

My normal background pic isn't quite up to the decency standards of this thread, so I swapped it for this:
